HIS has won over 1000 awards with ATI graphic solution from major media worldwide.

"The cooler showed some promising figures in regards to idle and load fan noise and acoustics and didn’t go above 53% RPM when running an intensive test like FurMark...quite surprising with the card not going above 65 degrees Celsius on load and sitting at a comfortable 34 degrees Celsius on idle." eTeknix "Silver Award"

The graphics performance of the HIS HD6870 IceQ X Turbo X is very good indeed... I can't help but keep singing praise for the IceQ cooler, it really is so good...I have no problems recommending this card to anyone who is in the market for a mid/high end card. Benchmark Reviews "Silver Tachometer Award"

“Both IDLE and LOAD temperatures of The HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X are just seriously good… For the cards in a fully stressed status (in-game) we measure under 38 dBA for a single card, now that is considered to be very silent, only when you get close you can hear a tiny bit of airflow…Remember it will allow you to play your games at 1920x1200 extremely well” Guru3D. "Recommend Product"

"Videocard is cold and Quite, for example without load vdeocard show result 38C at 1350 rpm, after 3d Mark Vantage 64065C, but cooling system works just at 1900 rpm without any noice."ITC.com "5-Stars Product"

"The HIS HD 6870 IceQ X TurboX is the best HD 6870 we’ve tested to date. Combined with a strong price tag, this is just a great model thanks to its performance and cooling efficency. HIS are onto a real winner here." TweakTown "Editor's Choice Award"

"As we could see in the tests, in many situations, the 6870 IceQ X Turbo X overpassed a reference model Radeon HD 6950, showing that depending on the price, it is a great choice compared to the AMD model which besides being a bigger size also uses more power."-Adrenaline "Gold Seal Product"

"HIS has come up with a very tasty edition of the HD6870... with the high factory overclocks it becomes a real match for the Nvidia card...the cooler is also a very nice addition,the IceQ X cooler is still a huge improvement both in temperatures as well as noise"-Metku "Gold Award"

"HIS markets this card as "the fastest HD6870 card", and while we haven't tested every HD6870 card on the market, this card certainly is a lot faster than both a regular HD6870 and the overclocked PowerColor PCS HD6870. When also considering the silent and efficient cooler and extra overclocking headroom, it is clear that this must be one of the best HD6870 cards that money can currently buy."-Bjorn3D "Sliver Award"

"HIS's HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X card is all about what you did and what you didn't see. I didn't see the IceQ X Turbo X HD 6870 stomp on the reference card but I did see it beat that same reference card out EVERY time." Overclocker Cafe "Editor's Choice"

Overclocking went well, with plenty of room in the Catalyst Control Center, negating the need for third party software to be used... it the IceQ X cooling setup was able to keep the temperature relatively low at a 70C maximum (while overclocked)...Overall then, the HIS 6870 IceQ X Turbo X is an easy card to recommend. It’s cool, quiet, and simply the fastest out of the box 6870 we’ve come across" -Viperlair "Editor's Choice"

"New 3Dmark and the IceQ X Turbo X actually squeezes past the GTX560. It also manages the second best score in the Performance-preset..The IceQ X cooler is also easily enough to cope with the heat output and during the testing the card remained very quiet." - Metku "Gold Award"

"this graphics cards does very good job in power saving without us "overpaid" for electric bill. In our test, Crysis 2 that had just been launched about 2 weeks ago running smoothly with this graphics card."OCDrift "Recommended"

" HIS truly is offering a lot of value with the HIS HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X card. Value strong enough to make it a clear winner here. Definitely worth a strong long look if you are looking for a moderately priced card that will play any game and do so well." - Overclocker Cafe "Editor's Choice"

"The return to idle temperature results are the best we have seen in this sector, a primary indication that the quad heatpipe design is working extremely well...HIS HD6870 ICEQX is capable of powering through many games across three screens at 5760×1080 resolution." - KitGuru "Must Have Award"

"HIS HD 6870 IceQ X TurboX 1GB GDDR5 Video Card is an all around amazing video card. Considering the overall performance vs. price, this video card will win the hearts of many hardcore gamers on a budget. Also, this is the turbo version with a core speed of 975MHz and the 1GB of GDDR5 256 bit memory is 4.6GHz DDR." - 3D Gameman "Kick Ass Choice"

"HIS claims their 6870 IceQ X Turbo X is the “world’s fastest Radeon HD 6870” and based on our findings here, we think they are right.he HIS 6870 IceQ X Turbo X was about 5% to 10% quicker than the MSI R6870 Hawk" - Hardwarezone "Very good Product"
